Does anyone have the scoop on EA? What's their style of play? Trying to figure out if they can beat DeRidder or not.

DeRidder lost most of its games this year on the road. This game is on the road. Moreover, DeRidder's first two playoff games have been in DeRidder with 4-0, 4-0 shutout victories. I think DeRidder is the better team...but will they play an away game at the best ability? I think they will now that it is the state quarterfinals and they know they have a good chance of playing for the state championship.
DeRidder plays good defense consistently. It's their offensive that is "moody."
I haven't seen East Ascension play this year.
My prediction: DeRidder prevails 3-1. DeRidder will need, I think, to lead or at least be tied at halftime to maintain the offense's aggressive play.

yeah EA will be pretty hard to beat, ive never seen em play though so i cant be sure, i know they beat tara 5-0 and pinevile beat them 3-1 but in my opinion pineville shoudla made a couple more shots count even though they played good, maybe EA just made all there shots count. it is not THAT unlikely that the ASH plays DeRidder in the finals, although that would mean we'd go back to arguing probably.

My prediction: DeRidder prevails 3-1... ... Mmmm Naaaa... don't think it will happen! There are only 4 teams who scored 3 goals or more on EA for the entire season (Jesuit [DI] in the Dutchtown Bayou Invitational - St Amant [DI] in the biggest Ascension Parish rivalry game - St Joe Madison [Mississippi team 5 times 3A state champ] in the Ridgeland Tournament - Lee High [DII] in the second round of district games). I'll tell this much: it will be an intense game of really good quality ;D

this game is gonna be close and which ever team wants it more will win. if deridder is down at half thier chances of winning are slim because they start imploding. i know that if they do play their A game then they can win this. deridder wins 2-1
now ASH and Deridder in finals? not happening, sorry

"if deridder is down at half thier chances of winning are slim because they start imploding." (esungoal4)
We have had a good season but have had 5 losses and been in several close games. I really don't see us "imploding".
"I'll tell this much: it will be an intense game of really good quality" (tsumi77)
I agree with tsumi77 - both teams know whats at stake and will play hard to move on.

d, ive played deridder earlier this season and they scored first but we tied it before halftime. the second half deridder started letting up and getting frustrated especially alvais and #14 (casey i think) we ended up winning 2-1
dont get me wrong i know deridder can win and i hope they do, they just need to come out and play their best
theotherforward, i know either one of yall can make it to the finals but i dont see both of yall. if pineville upsets vandy and yall beat lee then yall will face a different pineville then in district. deridder can also make it but they need to take one game at a time and play their best every game

Home or Away it doesn't matter does not matter in playoffs. Each of these teams knows what is on the line. These are 2 great teams that are going to play like there is no tomarrow. Anyone who comes to watch them play get ready for a great game.

EA has some very good, skilled, fast players on top and and in the midfield. When the 2 hispanic boys are on, they have the potential to score 3 or 4 goals against DeRidder. Though DeRidder is solid all around, EA's outside backs are mediocre but the forwards and midfields are very good skilled and fast. This game could go either way, but EA is playing at home. So I say that EA comes up on top 3-2 in OT, possibly in PKs.

i think that the home field does matter in playoffs, i played soccer when i was in high school and from experience, i beleive the home team has the advantage, because of fresh legs. They werent on a bus or a car all day with the legs pinned up. the only way that it doesnt matter is if deridder wants it more.

Exactly the teams that are left in the playoffs the elite eight these are the teams that don't get distracted by such things like a bus ride. You are supposed to want it more that is why you have made it this far. In this stage of the playoffs home or away should not matter each team will come ready to play. These teams are the best from districts and area. Car ride or not I thing Deridder will come to play. And it will be a battle to the end.
